nice argument senator but she's a cryptic horror who exists beyond time and space and he's a just a little guy who's very disturbed for he knows the unknowable. you have clearly not been blessed with vision.

we might be doomed by the narrative but at least we can be doomed by the narrative together. While being gay and in love.

your f/o memorizes the little things about you. your favorite colors, movies, games. the sort of pets you’d want, your favorite brand of dish soap, the laundry detergent you buy.

they surprise you endlessly with little gifts and comments in regards to things you never thought they’d remember. “of course i remember,” they’d laugh, as if it’s for the simplest reason in the world. “i love you!”

#i try not to write dialogue so people can apply as many f/os to my concepts as possible but #with this one i had to #just bexause it’s so sweet.. #romantic f/o #f/o imagines #imagine your f/o #platonic f/o #imagine your platonic f/o #imagine your romantic f/o #self ship #imagine your familial f/o #familial f/o #barrywriting

The mentally stable Dimitri Fire emblem 3 hopes.

It surprises me that there's still ppl claiming so, but then I remember we're talking about 3h interpretations and I have to make peace with it.

But that doesn't stop me from venting a little bit in this little space I have lol. Actually, it dries me and makes me feel bad to bring this up because I will have to talk bad about Dedue, and I don't want to talk Bad about Dedue. He's a genuinely good boy. But "Human" nonetheless, which means Flaws. I like Felix too but he's become some sort of a clown that doesn't make me feel too bad. I like Felix tho, In a different way.

Mostly talking about these two because the take that "Dimitri has better support system" baffles me because, technically, these two are his support system in HopesVerse. The persons who Dimitri relays on and seek solace/advice/support. The rest doesn't really tackle any of his personal struggles (aside from the Mage!Mitri frustrated dream, but that's out of the bad equation in our 'mentally unwell' set of pixels, and Shez only has a glimpse). Contrary, to Houses verse where the whole blue lions cast knew about his shit, didn't know what to do, but didn't leave either.

I tackled this topic with other person on Twitter who was (or still is) on board with this take and the phrase they used was They contained him better, which of course I agree and remarked that was exactly the problem. Contain him is gonna be contra productive. I used a water dam analogy, where the structure of such dam is damaged, and the pressure of water keeps accumulating. Causing a foreseeable damage for the dam itself and the surroundings. You don't need to be a genius to understand it, you need experience or knowledge for mental ill topics tho.

I really don't want to extend so much on here because it's mostly just, rant format more than a proper analysis so I just want to point out these two things in their support conversations.

First, Dedue. Encourage him to keep on the vengeful path. Which we know was the final goal of Azure Moon and if you payed attention to 3 houses message. The whole Vengeful argument was something Bad, to keep it simple. Despite Dimitri actively looking for answers/guidance for something that, in a rational state he can see clearly like vengeance will consume his life (also Shez and Felix called out this behavior). Dedue answer only encourage him to keep on that path, because he would do that 💔. Presenting 2 oposite views is a great formula for confusion and disorientation. Now, Dedue's role is primary SUPPORT, not guidance nor orientation. He will support his shit no matter what, and we are quite aware of that if played Houses.

Second, Felix. Felix is a special case. He is smart but also an idiot lacks A LOT of soft skills to actually be of help. He's the only one who knows in this verse about Dimitri having a mental issue. In their A support to say the least, so they don't close or solve anything. What makes it more worrisome is the fact that Felix conceals the issue as a secret.

"So try to keep that whole "removing their heads" thing in check, yeah? We can just call it our little secret."

this extract here makes me feel so unwell 😭help

The whole burden falls over him and his lack of skills and wisdom on the matter will be too much for him later on. He at least, will be able to recognize that the problem is beyond of his capabilities and will look for help. Felix himself has his own issues and journey where he needs to learn. He's forced to get pass beyond some of his angry teen behavior but hasn't completely get over it.

There is a lot more to tackle, but that requires more work and time. What are the topics some of you think is important to cover around understanding the Hopes verse resolution? Dimitri's route? something? Do you think the route without Byleth is better? With that being said, I would like to delve deeper into character analysis, and the role each played for the Lords too. That also requires to talk about the Byleth and needs a whole analysis on their own, which requires time (which i don't have much lol) To end this vent, I would like to encourage people to do a little research for the terminology they're using like "Support System". Who makes it up and how it operates successfully. The fact that ppl saying "he has better support system" only because he didn't go feral on the run alone is not entirely valid. A reminder that people can feel alone with or without people around them. And containing the issue within doesn't solve any problem. At best, it's presented later. At worse, it gets worse.

#dimitri alexandre blaiddyd #my lil blorbo with mental health issues #few3hopes #fire emblem warriors 3 hopes #Today I woke up and felt like venting #BUT Just to make myself clear #this has nothing to do with ships #you can ship whatever you want #You do you #Just in case someone has that feeling #This is an analysis from a mental health point of view #because it is one of the strong points of this character and with which many of us connect/relate #So I like to apply psychological and neurological (even psychiatric if necessary) perspectives #And I like to apply realistic theories to this fictional world because that is the good thing about three-dimensional characters #They feel so human that all these hypotheses can be applied #If some of you don't. That's cool too. You do you #Enjoy the game as you please lil fella #ALSO ALSO I'm taking into account what the intention of the developers was #(that would be tricky considering the inconsistency withing the developers' team >___>)

Nah, you know what makes my blood boil?

Seeing characters degraded, vilified, and desecrated in the name of ship wars.

No, Aang did not strip Katara of her agency nor did he only accept the "digestible" parts of her, leave my baby alone.

No, Zuko isn't just a selfish colonizer, bro did not have one of the greatest arcs of all time for you to reduce him to that.

No, Katara wasn't just a mother to everyone, for fuck's sake, did we watch the same show?

I can go on and on and fucking on, but all I'm gonna say is I'm fucking tired of y'all's shipping discourse.

It was never that serious, it will never be that serious.

I think that both Zutara and Kataang are great ships in their own right, with their respective pros and cons. I also think it comes down to personal taste.

Of course, people can have differing opinions on characters, regardless of the inclusion of ships or not. But at the very least, stick to your own.

Ship and let ship. Remember when this was fun?

Don't invade spaces that aren't yours to start trouble, and stay appropriate with the tags. Fandom etiquette, it's pretty neat.

Y'all suck the joy out of everything.

#the way i can apply this to half of the ships amd characters i like #ive seen things #ive seen some crazy shit #heard some wild takes #take a chill pill #and sit your asses down #kataang #aang #zuko #atla #shipping wars #shipping discourse #fandom etiquette #this applies to every ship btw it just so happens that i stumbled upon yet another kataang vs zutara ordeal and im fed up #ruining it for the rest of us #i get it and i do think the passion is beautiful and a show of how many emotions and how much love these characters still make us feel #but hot damn enough is enough

[noritaro]

that ship is neat and all, and with all due respect bro... that character is literally canonically dating me sorry :/

#rambles #i wanted to make a self ship joke #anyways i have so many characters that this applies to #and im not tagging them cause i dont want my cringe to appear in the search

[shortmexicangirl]

you know when you’re watching a show and you just see the moment when a non-canon ship is born and know the fandom is gonna take it and run

#miraculous ladybug #this is about kitty noire x scarabella in the new ep #but honestly this applies to SO many ships & fandoms #atla #aot #zukka #zukki #zukka is literally the entirety of the boiling rock #and zukki is specifically that scene where chit sang says ‘hey fellas look at your girlfriend’ to the both of them #like off the top of my head the first encounters/ship moments that stick out to me: #zoenette #tyzula #eruri #(<- except that’s ones canon fight me) #marigami #lukloe #zutara #eremin #hitchannie #jeanmarco #i feel like id be here all day if i listed them all #but it’s all in the SUBTEXT #just those moments… u know…

[queerofthedagger]

'I'd burn the whole world down for you' truly the ship dynamic of all time idc just give me single-minded devotion to the point of willing destruction of everything and everyone bonus points if it's both of them

#mona rambles #this applies to too many of my ships tbh but like. it IS the best dynamic so #merthur #silverflint #dreamling #etc etc like. yeah

[timesomewhere]

stop asking gay people which one is the man and which one is the woman. ask them which one is out of touch and which one is out of time.

#this applies to so many ships be I am specifically thinking about ineffable husbands rn #good omens #good omens 2 #ineffable husbands #jayvik #merthur

[samaspic31]

It always baffles me how much people believe that their ideas about gay sex and shipping come from nowhere when it's clearly just thinly veiled homophobic and sexist stereotypes that fem=bottom=submissive we’re all unconsciously taught growing up in homophobic societies (with racist undertones anytime half of a ship is not white). i believe it to be unconcsious bias, im not blaming people for not having unpacked why they jump to headcanon the character performing the most traditional masculinity to be a top, but it’s getting tiring. Especially when authors refuse to question themselves when getting callled out for fetichizing, say, latino men and reducing them to sex-obsessed, domineering, possessive, bordeline abusive partners. I promise you your tendency to make the more traditionally masculine one a top with a dominant attitude does not come from yourself entirely. It’s not something you just “happen” to consistently repeat your work for no subjacent reason. You have every right to hold these headcanons, and to like exploring these dynamics, i sometimes even agree with those interpretations myself ! But we all should be careful and conscious of the why, what pushed us to hold these headcanons, and check it’s not rooted in shallow gendered and racialized stereotypes.

Anyways

#this sadly applies to so many fandoms. but it’s so prevalent in Star Wars shipping communities #sam posts stuff #begging y’all to talk to actual gay men and learn about queer femininity and how detached from submissiveness it can be #if I have to read one more fic that treats the fact the feminine half of a ship is the bottom as obvious I’m throwing myself off a cliff #fuck it #dinluke #that is also rife in xreader writing communities but im not tagging that

What can I say? They're my favorite.

#twdg #twdg clouis #clouis #twdg clementine #twdg louis #sometimes they creep back into my mind and i'm like 'ah yes' like a crow admiring a pretty stone they found years ago and kept #also thank you pi for the screenshots. i used to have a whole folder full of them but that was when i was doing themed nights #the source for these is me i just have a random document full of dynamics and ship things i enjoy because.....i dunno i like keeping track #and so many of them apply to clouis but there's also an overlap of with clouis and rose/alistair [my warden from origins and alistair] like #alistair's romance route is like an evolved matured and extended version of clouis sksksks gee i wonder if i have a type #look you present me with a character who deflects with humor and isn't taken seriously by the rest of the group and the longer you know the #the more you realize how high they've built a wall around themselves and how *unwell* they really are and how they're not as sunshine #as they present themselves and also they avoid leadership and responsibility until they grow closer with someone who pushes them #and they end stronger and more balanced as a person while finding the affection they've craved #and also there's the daddy issues #present me with that character as a romantic option and i'm in no questions asked okay i don't want the mean broody one that's meh to me #i want the one that has every reason to be broody but chooses not to be because they have a completely different defense mechanism #and a warped sense of themselves and self-esteem issues they leave unaddressed until forced to face them #i'm just saying i'm aware that i have a type i'm always going to gravitate toward clouis nearly checks all the boxes #also the lack of clouis these days? my crops are thirsty and i have too many ongoing projects to do anything about it other than this sksks #so until i make time to finish my long ass louis/clouis analysis this is the best i can provide for now

[tumblasha]

…so which one’s the assumed gay and which one’s the debated gay?

#in my youth there were so many battles over whether naruto liked boys #but NOBODY is debating aboht sasuke #that is a gay man right there #homosexual #this also applies to the #‘DEKU IS NOT GAY’ dudebros #and katsuki is just sitting there like 🌈🧍🌈 #i love them #also yes there may be some sad stereotypes when applying this to other ships but let’s keep it lighthearted y’all #narusasu #sasunaru #sns #bakudeku #bkdk #dkbk #ktdk #catradora #lgbt #house may be bisexual #but there is no doubt hilson is a gay man #akdbxiwohe #hilson #100
